Figure 1: Regional and Local Setting 1.1.4 Previous Vegetation Surveys There have been a number of vegetation surveys conducted at Inverhuron in the past, identifying at least 586 species of vascular plants within the park (See Section 3 Vegetation Communities). Past vegetation surveys include: • An Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Inverhuron Provincial Park (Johnson and Parker 1975). • Botanical Reconnaissance of the Gunn Point-Holmes Bay Portion of Inverhuron Provincial Park (Johnson 1998). • Botanical Inventory of Inverhuron Provincial Park (Johnson 1981). • Known Bruce County Populations of Pitcher’s Thistle (Cirsium pitcheri) (Johnson 2000). • International Biological Program, Checksheet for Region 5, Area 224: Inverhuron (Helling et al. 1970). 2
1.1.5 Zoning The park management plan (OMNR 2000) identifies four zones within the park: Historical Zone (122 ha), Nature Reserve Zone (28 ha), Development Zone (67 ha), and Natural Environment Zone (71 ha) (Figure 2). Figure 2: Zoning 1.2 Policy Framework This plan has been developed to guide vegetation management in the park by providing more detailed direction based on the vegetation stewardship policies listed in Section 7.2 of the Inverhuron Provincial Park Management Plan (OMNR 2000) and recommendations in the Inverhuron Provincial Park Environmental Study Report (TSH 2003). These policies are: • Non-native plant species will not be deliberately introduced; • Where non-native species threaten values, an eradication program may be developed; • Missing native species may be re-established if biologically feasible and acceptable, and compatible with the historical values for which the park was established; • Stabilization of shoreline and backshore sand dunes will be a priority; • Agricultural practices and commercial forest operations will not be permitted; • Maintain a natural 35 m buffer between campsites (TSH 2003); • Protect provincially significant biological resources (TSH 2003). 3
